  2. Potatoes fries
    They have to be made with fresh potatoes. After a brushing machine removes the dirt the potatoes travel alog the water canal to the peeler.
    In this machine they turn around a turmble against the rollers until the skin comes off.
    Then the potatoes pass throughmachine that separates them by size and the small ones fall below to be rinsed the larguer ones stay on stop to be cut.Then the potatoes go through slice scale and slice plates are adjustable in two sizes.
    Then they pass through centrifugal machine where the centrifugal force created shoots the potatoes against a sharp blades.
    Finally the potato slices fall are washed inside a giant barrel of cold fresh water for about one minute.The slices pass under an air blower to dry up the excess water.
    Then down in the friar with oil boiling of three hundred seventy five Farenheint degrees ( one hundred ninety Celsius degrees )in takes just three minutes to fry the potato slices.Before exit the prior on the conveyor belt the excess oil drips off.
    Electronic cameras identifies any chips that here brown spots or other defects.
    The camera then triggers the vent pipe directly above that funship blow it off the conveyor belt with air pressure.The potato chips are flavored with artifitial flavorings such as barbecue, salt and vinager.
    The next machine separates and weighs the portions to be packed.
